He noted that ongoing investments in infrastructure, manufacturing, energy transition, and digitalization in India continue to create long-term opportunities for the company.

The outlook remains positive as the domestic capex cycle transitions from a cyclical upswing to a structural theme focused on electrification, automation, digitalization, grid modernization, and energy transition. ABB India is committed to converting demand into sustainable and profitable growth aligned with ABB Group priorities.
